I think you guys should change your rims. I'm not a fan of the stock rims anymore, I didn't mind them before but as times goes by, I dislike em more.

Haha, I actually really like the stock rims though. I think it matches the car perfectly.
Also as the car ages, I think it will be cool when you see these cars with the oem rims. And now that the 2017 will have different rims, these cars will begin to become more and more rare with the OEM rims
The only issue i have with these OEM rims is i wish they were 17x8 so I could put 225 tires on them
I was looking a lot for rims I like but I can't find anything that sits perfectly with me as much as these OEM ones. The closest thing I like was RPF1's in SBC but they only come in 17x9 which is too big for my taste.
Also i like the Enkei RC-T4 which is a possibility in the future if these stock rims get too damaged. But even then, i bet the OEM sets will still be dirt cheap to buy.

I think you should go for the clear side markers, I'm liking it more every day and it looks much better than the amber IMO for our red cars. Even though it stands out more rather than blending, it matches the clear headlight housings on the front end.
Right now I have the following TRD parts: Exhaust, intake, spoiler, brake pads, shift knob, red ignition button, & fuel cap. Other mods I've done is the carbon fiber diffuser out back, clear side markers, JPM coachworks alcantara gauge cluster cover, BRZ trunk liner.
Over the winter I'm buying the wheels, tires and springs |
Nice, looks like your on the right track haha
What kind of brake pads did you get?

Glad someone else agrees haha
Never understood the hate that these rims get. I think they match the car perfectly!
Like i get why people switch rims.
1. To be unique.
2. Weight
3. Size/stance etc...
4. Looks
For me, #1...these are already unique since they only belong to this car unlike Volks CE28's(for example) which are on so many cars.
2. I don't care about weight so much since I'm not a person who tracks or auto crosses.
3. Well i did wish for 17x8 haha
4. I like the look of these.
So no point of me switching to aftermarket. I'd only pick up a set of light weight rims if i was serious about going to the track.
